About the GSA
Our vision and mission is to advocate for all graduate students to the University of Alberta and all levels of government in pursuit of a safe, supportive, respectful, accessible, and inclusive community that fosters the multi-faceted roles played by graduate students.
All graduate students at the U of A are automatically members of the GSA, with the right to vote in elections (and run for office!), serve on committees, and access GSA benefits.
